Thanks for the help to those who replied.
 
I ended up replacing my CATV cable with decent short run RG6 stuff.  I also replaced the splitter with a better one.  The signal definitely improved.
 
Removing the surge supressor helps the signal too but I'm worried about permanently removing it.  I know lightning will go right through it but that's not what I'm trying to stop.  Is it possible to have power spikes across the CATV cable big enough to damage the TV?
